[Version]

I am wondering if there is a code that rretreives information from a webpage?

if so could someone provide the code for it thanks.

I want to get numbers in group of 3's and are seperated by "," thanks.

getting thier site's information something like http://www.whois.sc/ ? you can even find Dan's number there

but i doubt you can do that with code/java

but define this number that you are looking for please.

You can very easily download a web page with Java:

Java:

try {             HttpURLConnection urlc = (HttpURLConnection)(new URL("http://compsci.ca/")).openConnection();             urlc.connect();             DataInputStream d = new DataInputStream(urlc.getInputStream());             byte[] b = new byte[urlc.getContentLength()];             d.readFully(b);             d.close();             urlc.disconnect();         } catch (Exception ex) {             ex.printStackTrace();         }

It downloads all the content into a byte array, which you must then turn into strings. Afterwards you can scrape the resulting HTML in the strings in order to find what you need.

I think the HttpURLConnection and DataInputStream are in the java.net and java.io packages, respectively.

interesting but right now im not trying to download but just trying to retrieve some data from it

http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=spike_x41

that is the url to get the information from that i am trying to do.

[Tony]

download and retrieve (all of) data from a webpage are the same thing.

so you read the webpage, and then you can parse whatever specific data that you need from it.

well, if you want to modify runescape... thats not the way to do it
those number have nothing to do with any "hacks"

I want to make a program to retreive the website highscore.. when one is entered

[HeavenAgain]

by looking at the url link you give from your post http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=spike_x41
god knows what does number means, so how is it able to get the highscore? unless you know what it means, then you still have to download the webpage, and do some work there
